Yes val, it is a date that should make us stop and think, and remember those brave men who died that we may be free. I must also spare a thought for my late Mum. She was in London when a bomb came through the roof of her house and killed her husband and three year old daughter. How she coped with that I'll never know. Hugs to all. /me gazes up at the Cenotaph. Morning Lia! Wow! How tragic! Sigh. Was a wonder that she coped huh, in the aftermath? /me pauses and thinks about Lia' Mum, and her family too! Peace!

That evening, in the absence of a Chaplain, John McCrae recited from memory a few passages from the Church of England’s “Order of the Burial of the Dead”. For security reasons Helmer’s burial in Essex Farm Cemetery was performed in complete darkness. The next day, May 3, 1915, Sergeant-Major Cyril Allinson was delivering mail. McCrae was sitting at the back of an ambulance parked near the dressing station beside the YserCanal, just a few hundred yards north of Ypres, Belgium. As John McCrae was writing his In Flanders Fields poem, Allinson silently watched and later recalled, “His face was very tired but calm as he wrote. He looked around from time to time, his eyes straying to Helmer's grave." Within moments, John McCrae had completed the “In Flanders Fields” poem and when he was done, without a word, McCrae took his mail and handed the poem to Allinson. Allinson was deeply moved: “The (Flanders Fields) poem was an exact description of the scene in front of us both. He used the word blow in that line because the poppies actually were being blown that morning by a gentle east wind. It never occurred to me at that time that it would ever be published. It seemed to me just an exact description of the scene." J. McCrae Good morning Dee! Sigh! Let us never forget! Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
